Three types of Bi nary star Systems:
1. VISUAL
*Directly observable

2. ECLIPSING
*One star passes directly in front
of the other

3. Spectroscopic

*Detected when a spectrum is
seen to contain two sets of
lines which move slightly
relative to each other
NEUTRINOS
Neutrinos are one of the main particles that make up the Universe.
They are very similar to the electron except they dont have a charge which means
Neutrinos are not affected by the electromagnetic forces.
They are very tiny and have little to no interaction with anything.
Neutrinos are also one of the least understood of fundamental particles.
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in
Canada has produced its first
images of neutrino interactions in its
1000 tonnes of heavy water. The
data from this new type of neutrino
detector could help to pin down the
properties of solar neutrinos.
HISTORY OF NEUTRINOS
The electron neutrino was first postulated in 1930 by Wolfgang Pauli.
They were said to weigh nothing and were impossible to detect.
They were born 15 billion years ago, shortly after the universe was born.
There are now known to be many neutrinos and they have a temperature of 1.9
degree Kelvin.
The other neutrinos of the universe are produced during
the life of stars and the explosion of supernovae.

THREE TYPES OF NEUTRINOS
There are three different types of neutrinos. Each one is partnered with a charged
particle.
